The Institute of Physics invites applications for its public engagement grants. These support individuals and organisations running physics-based events and activities in the UK and Ireland. The aim is to encourage and support the development of projects that:

•raise public awareness of, and engagement with, contemporary physics;

•inspire and enthuse public audiences, especially those not previously interested in physics;

•reach adult and family audiences beyond the classroom;

•develop the science communication skills of individuals, particularly physicists.
